electrode

electrode
An electrical conductor that enables the transfer of electric current between a metallic conductor and a nonmetallic medium, such as a liquid, a gas, or a semiconductor.
Beim Schweißen entsteht durch den Strom zwischen der Elektrode und dem Werkstück ein Lichtbogen.
During welding, an arc is created by the current between the electrode and the workpiece.
'Elektrode' (electrode) is an international technical term. It comes from Greek and is made up of 'elektron' (for electricity) and 'hodos' (way/path). So an electrode is literally a 'path for electricity'.
Die Batterie funktioniert durch eine chemische Reaktion zwischen zwei verschiedenen Elektroden.
The battery works through a chemical reaction between two different electrodes.
This word is a technical term from physics, chemistry, and engineering. You find it especially in contexts such as batteries, welding, electroplating, or medicine, for example in an ECG.
Für die Messung der Gehirnströme wurden dem Patienten Elektroden am Kopf befestigt.
For the measurement of brain activity, electrodes were attached to the patient's head.
Common combinations are 'positive Elektrode' (positive electrode/anode) and 'negative Elektrode' (negative electrode/cathode). Typical verbs are 'Elektroden anbringen' (to attach electrodes) or 'anschließen' (to connect).
Achte darauf, die positive und die negative Elektrode nicht zu verwechseln.
Be careful not to mix up the positive and negative electrode.
pole
The Pol is the externally accessible positive or negative connection of a battery. The Elektrode is a conductor through which current passes between a metallic conductor and a nonmetallic medium. Use Pol for the cable connection and Elektrode for this transfer of current.
Im Inneren der Batterie geht an der Elektrode Strom zwischen dem Metall und der Flüssigkeit über.
Inside the battery, current passes between the metal and the liquid at the electrode.
Das Kabel wird außen am positiven Pol der Batterie angeschlossen.
The cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery on the outside.
